VRBO is part of the HomeAway family, the world leader in vacation rentals. We offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We’re committed to helping families and friends find a perfect vacation rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.

Built in 2016, this riverfront three bedroom, two bath 2,100 square foot home is located just ½ mile from the NE entrance to Yellowstone National Park and has wifi, a firepit, and a great deck and yard overlooking the river. Located on a private, wooded acre of land with the river on two sides, it is THE closest rental to the park! Yellowstone's Lamar Valley is just 15 minutes away. Photographing baby animals in spring, touring the park in summer, hearing the elk bugling in fall, pristine cross country skiing on Yellowstone trails or wolf watching in Lamar Valley in winter, you can do it all from this home. In winter, you'll have the convenience of the plowed main road and the privacy of an acre of riverside wooded property. You can't beat skiing and snowshoeing around the peaceful wilderness of Silver Gate. Cooke City is just 3 miles away, with all of the snow sports that the Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains have to offer. Snowmobiling, snowboarding, backcountry skiing, it's all right here. Ride your sleds from the house to Cooke City's groomed trails. Plenty of room in the driveway for your trailer and trucks.

Our extremely clean, newly built luxury cabin has a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a wide-open floor plan. The main floor master bedroom has a king-sized log bed, and a large master bath with double sink vanity, 6 foot soaking tub and 5 foot shower. Upstairs, the loft bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with mountain views out every window. The second upstairs bedroom has a twin-over-full log bunkbed and a full futon. If your group doesn't match our bed sizes, we have electronically inflated air mattresses available. The upstairs bath has double sink vanity and a shower/tub combo. Both bathrooms have on-demand hot water. The floor-to-ceiling wall of windows in the living room brings the great outdoors right inside to you. Enjoy the gas fireplace from the comfortable leather seating. Shelves of guidebooks help you learn about your Yellowstone surroundings, animals you will see and hiking trails both in and around the park. The open kitchen has brand new appliances, including a gas range /oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee maker, electric teapot, and microwave oven. Beautiful rustic hickory cabinets complement the quartz countertops. The large island/eating bar has great views out to the creek and Amphitheater Mountain. The ceiling is tongue and groove blue pine. Yes, we have a large laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, so no need to over-pack!! An 8-foot deck surrounds ¾ of our home, giving you a private retreat to read, relax, sit with family and friends, or cook on the gas BBQ grill. The house has internet and DirecTV. Take a nap in the hammock, or just enjoy the peaceful outdoor space overlooking the creek and watch the deer, moose, and bison walk by to get a drink. Use our fly rods and see if you can outsmart the native Yellowstone Cutthroat trout in Soda Butte Creek. We also have a large outdoor fire pit for smores, evening storytelling, or enjoying a romantic nightcap. You and your family and friends are going to love this place!

Whether our guests are families with children, extended families with grandparents, couples, or just friends looking for a fun getaway, we strive to provide memories that will last a lifetime. After a day of sightseeing or hiking in the park, Creekside at Yellowstone will provide the perfect “basecamp” to come home to every evening. Relax on the porch or in front of the fireplace, fix healthy family meals in our gourmet kitchen or grill out on the large deck and share stories and photos from the day’s adventures. Our goal is to make you feel like you never want to leave, and during your stay, you’ve relaxed, had fun, seen and enjoyed the amazing sights and sounds that Yellowstone has to offer.

About Jill Warren

Jill & Greg:
We are retired science teachers who have lived in the area for nearly 20 years. We purchased our own cabin in 1998 and we've spent every summer and our holidays exploring the Yellowstone ecosystem with our two children. We know the park intimately, and we are happy to sit with you and go over the map of Yellowstone and make recommendations about “must see” stops, sights, or hikes (as well as the best places to spot wolves, bears, and other highlights). In 2015/16, we built Creekside at Yellowstone. We look forward to sharing our appreciation and love for this area with our guests.

Why Jill Warren chose Silver Gate

The Silver Gate Cooke City area is an amazing place. We love the proximity to the park and its wildlife and the unique feel of these two historical towns. Wilderness is all around and a visit here will change you.

What makes this House unique

Our goal as hosts is to exceed your expectations. We built this home with you and your family in mind and we know you're going to have the time of your lives.

Place settings and utensils for 10.

This is hands down the best rental experience I’ve had. I’m a germ-aphobe and this place was immaculate and organized. It was truly cleaner than any hotel I’ve been to and more organized than my own house. I felt more comfortable and at home here than at some of my relative’s houses. Jill and Greg go above and beyond. I’ve never had a host offer to come over and help plan our daily adventures before. My Mom loved their binder of information about the house, local eats, and activities. My dad still hasn’t stopped talking about how he wants a house just like this one. My family members that backed out of the trip are jealous at our pictures of the property and surrounding stream. Our friends, who stayed in Gardinier, where amazed at the suggestions from Jill. They were asking us what to do in Yellowstone because they had no idea where to start. Also, you cannot beat this location.

Jill & Greg should offer premium seminars on how to do rentals in the best way. Not only are they friendly, available and willing to help - their cabin is stunning, spotless, comfortable, fully operational & filled to the hilt with amenities - many pleasantly unanticipated. Their tips and recommendations were spot on.

While the place is a destination in its own right - think observatory, culinaria, arboretum, library, cinema, wildlife magnet, luxury home & more, it serves alongside as the ideal launch point to experience its unique neighborhood of YNP, Silver Gate, Cooke City & Beartooth Highway.

Creekside at Yellowstone property is without a doubt the most perfect place to stay when visiting Yellowstone. Often pictures are misleading compared to the reality but not in this case. The home is immaculate, well appointed with wonderful appliances and a kitchen that is a dream. The spacious living space is perfect for a single or extended family group. The location of home maximizes the view of creek and mountains and is so close to the NE entrance of the park it takes just a minute to be in the park on your day's adventure. The home is an oasis of peace and tranquility that is positively beautiful. Owners Jill and Greg are nearby and a wonderful resource for everything Yellowstone or questions about the house. We rented the property for our son and family during a week visit and it was perfect for this active family of two adults and three children.

Often one is disappointed with the reality of what they have booked on line, but with this property you will be totally amazed that it is even better than what you expected or hoped for. Nothing is lacking, everything is there and you could not ever be unhappy with this choice. While Park lodging is intriguing at times, Creekside at Yellowstone provides you with peace, quiet, beauty, light and total contentment. You will never go wrong staying here, it is the BEST!

Wow! This place has everything...gorgeous property, very close proximity to Yellowstone, and the home itself was beautiful. We loved hearing the Soda Butte Creek throughout our stay and seeing mama and baby moose stop by. The kitchen was perfectly appointed and we used it daily for at least one meal. Jill & Greg are exceptional hosts and have really thought of every detail. I highly recommend Creekside at Yellowstone and hope to return for a longer stay in the future.

Map

Silver Gate, Cooke City-Silver Gate, MT, USA

From our house, it’s just a 15 - 20 minute drive to Lamar Valley, home to wolves, black and grizzly bear, herds of bison, pronghorn, and elk. All parts of Yellowstone can easily be accessed from our cabin. You’ll love the history, geology, hydrology, ecology, and all the wild animals you’ll see as you travel through the park. It’s not uncommon to see moose, deer, bison, pine marten, weasels, and fox roaming right on our property here in Silver Gate! We can’t think of a better location to stay when visiting Yellowstone.

There is SO much to do in and near our community of Silver Gate/Cooke City. Take a hike out the front door to three nearby waterfalls, or visit area restaurants and gift shops. The many activities include bike riding, fishing, tubing on Soda Butte Creek, kayaking on area rivers or Beartooth Lakes, rock climbing, animal viewing, horseback riding, river rafting, ATV rental, and birding. Take a drive into the Beartooth Mountains and see America’s most scenic highway. Visit the classic western town of Cody, WY and take in a rodeo, or visit the world-class Buffalo Bill Museum. Don’t forget relaxing on the deck with a good book. In the winter months, ski or snowshoe out the front door to area trails, ice climb on the frozen waterfalls, ride your sleds to the groomed trails around Cooke City (plenty of room for a trailer and your trucks in the driveway), or relax by the fire with a good book!
